REMOVA BLE SLIDE FASTENER POCKET AND LEADER POCKET Filed June 20, 1936Patented May 20, 1941 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE REMOVABLE SLIDEFASTENER POCKET AND LEADER POCKET Claims.

My invention relates to fiy books for fishermen and has for its objectto provide a removable leaf section for said fiy books which carried aslide fastener pocket therein.

A further object is to provide a removable leaf 1 section for build upfly books such as are shown in my copending application for build up fiybooks, Serial No. 86,219, filed June 20, 1936, in which the removableleaf section carries a pocket closed by a slide fastener and whichpocket also has a transparent side through which the user may observethe contents without opening the pocket, if desired.

A still further object is to provide a removable leaf section of theclass described, in which the slide fastener pocket is accompanied witha net pocket for carrying leaders. This also provides for a handyremovable pocket section from a build up fiy book when desired.

A still further object is to provide a slide fastener pocket forremovable leaf type fiy books in which one or both sides of the pocketmay be made transparent and which sides may 'be provided with an extraopen face pocket adjacent each side of the slide fastener pocket havingtransparent sides so that the user may have some reinforcement for thesides of the pocket ifneeded and to allow for additional storage spacewithout additional leaves being required.

These objects I accomplish with the device illustrated in theaccompanying drawing in which similar numerals and letters of referenceindicate like parts throughout the several views and as described in thespecification forming a part of this application and pointed out in theappended claims.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a plan view of the pocket, leaf section opened to that sidethrough which the articles may be seen which are carried Within thepocket and showing the removable wet leaf and the net pocket forleaders.

Figure 2 is a transverse section showing the manner in which the pocketmay be constructed. Figure 3 is a bottom edge view of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a plan view of a removable wet leaf having the leader netshown made thereon instead of in the leaf section, if desired, or thenet may be made both places.

In the drawing I have shown the removable pocket A, formed in a leafsection B, having male and female snaps fasteners C in the cornersthereof by which the leaf section may be inserted into a build up bookof the type shown in my copending application for patent for Build upfly book for fishermen, Serial No. 86,219, filed June 20, 1936.

The'pocket A is made by taking two separate sheets of material 3 and 4,and sewing them down the middle at a seam 5, then sewing up the two ends6 of the abutting halves I and 8 of the two leaves and securing theslide fastener 10 onto the outer edge of the pocket 9 formed between thetwo halves and 8. One face II of the half 1 is cut away and atransparent Celluloid, Pyralin, or a sheet of like material I2 is sewedtherein to make a transparent face or opening therefor. A separate sheetof like material I3 is bound on the edges at H and then the back sideand the two ends are sewed onto the half I outside the transparent face12 in the pocket to give an additional pocket and provide additionalstrength to the Py alin or Celluloid l2. Onto the half l5 of the sheet 3I then secure a net pocket ll formed by securing a net [8 to the face ofthe sheet 3 by sewing binding I9 onto the net and then securing thebinding to the sheet 3 along one side 20 and one end 2| and partiallyalong the inner side '22 and the top end 23 leaving a slanting portionunsewed under which leaders or like material may be placed for storing.If it is desired to keep these leaders wet, I then provide a wet leaf Esimilar to the wet leaf shown in my separate application for wet leavesfor fly books and secure this leaf to the leaf or sheet 3 by suitablehooks and eyes 25 or like means for removably fastening the wet leaf inplace. I

When the leaf is wet the leaders will remain in proper condition forfishing until the wet leaf is removed and the leader pocket exposedtothe air for drying.

The wet leaf E may be provided with the leader pocket as shown at El inFigure 4 if desired.

Having thus described my invention I desire to secure by Letters Patentand claim:

1. In a device of the class described, the combination of two sheets ofmaterial sewed together down their medial portions, with the ends of twoengaging halves of the two sheets sewed together to form a pockettherebetween; a slide fastener secured to the edges of the pocket; andsuitable fasteners secured to the two sheets to permit ready removal orinsertion in a fly book.

2. In a slide fastener pocket and leader pocket for fly books, thecombination of two sheets of material sewed together to form a pocketbetween two halves of said sheets; a slide fastener secured to the edgesof the pocket so formed;

and a mesh fabric secured to one of said sheets on the half of the leafnot used for the pocket, said mesh fabric being sewed down to the leafon three sides.

3. In a leader pocket for fly books, the combination of a removableleaf; a pocket formed therein of mesh fabric in which leaders may beplaced, the mesh to allow view and aeration of the articles in thepocket so formed.

4. A leader pocket for fly books comprising a mesh openwork area securedto a fly book leaf; a wet leaf to be secured adjacent said pocket toallow moisture from the leaf to pass to the contents of the pocket.

5; In a device of the class described the combination of two sheets ofmaterial sewed together to form a pocket between two halves of saidsheets; a slide fastener secured to the edges of the pocket so formed; amesh fabric secured to one of said sheets on the half of the sheet notused in forming the pocket, said mesh fabric being sewed to the sheet ontwo sides and part of a third adjacent side; means to secure the pocketso formed in a fly book; a transparent pocket formed on one side of saidpocket; and a transparent side in said pocket to permit view of thecontents of the pocket.

6. A pocket for fly books formed of open mesh material permittingaeration visibility of the contents of the pocket.

7. A removable pocket for fly books comprising a leaf having snapfasteners at all four corners by which the leaf may be secureddetachably in a fly book; a like sized leaf secured medially and alongthe ends to said first leaf forming a pocket between the two adjacenthalves; a slide fastener secured to these edges by which the pocket maybe closed; and a net pocket sewed into the face of one of said leaves topermit full visibility of all articles placed in the net pocket.

8. A removable pocket and.leaf for fly books comprising two like-shapedleaves secured together along their middle, with the edges of two of thesides secured together to form a pocket; a slide fastener secured alongthe adjacent edges to close the pocket; another half sheet secured intothe medial seam to form an extra open sided pocket alongside said pocketso formed; one side of said pocket having an openingtherein and a sheetof transparent material secured in said side of said pocket to giveclear visibility without opening the fastener.

9. In a device of the class described, for use in fly books, thecombination of two sheets of material secured together by stitching downtheir medial portions making four leaves extendin from a central meetingpoint with the, two adjacent central leaves secured together along theirends; a slide fastener secured along the opening between the twoadjacent leaves forming a closable pocket therebetween; and snapfasteners secured in the four corners of the two outside leaves .bywhich the entire device may be secured in a fly book,

10. A device as set out in claim 2 including a removable wet leafcarried between the mesh pocket and the slide fastener pocket to moistenarticles in the mesh pocket. l
